rockinbabzz Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've been in the O2 Academy in Newcastle, it's a brilliant venue! Not going to this gig or anything, just felt like hijacking this thread because I love Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikafish Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hmmm... not sure if I should drive back the same night or stay over. Anyone local know any cheap hotels/hostels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hmmm... not sure if I should drive back the same night or stay over. Anyone local know any cheap hotels/hostels? I was looking for some the other day but not properly cos I didn't know if there even would be a Newcastle gig. Or that I'd be going to it. I'll consult google and see what I find.

Jazzy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Ok, I dunno. Every place I look up seems to have at least three horrendous reviews. Or is that just Newcastle in general? I think the local lad needs to pass on his wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 LOL! I'm not fussed on quality, all i need is a space to sleep for a few hours! Same here really. I was looking on trip advisor and I think it'd probably be about £40-50 for a twin room. But if I hunt around I can probably find something a bit closer.

Mikafish Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Okay, wicked. You still up for sharing in Glasgow? Yep. Was just looking at the Travelodge, £19 for a room! Not sure how close it is to the venue yet tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Yep. Was just looking at the Travelodge, £19 for a room! Not sure how close it is to the venue yet tho.. £19, they MUST be pulling your leg? Or is that for the cleaning cupboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 really would love to go to this one, great memories of the 2007 gig at this venue... but i guess i just have to stop at some point. going to belfast, dublin and london, plus all the dates already listed in my signature, that should be enough for a while! but i'll only book my london journey in november, so you'll never know... last time it was also a last minute decision to go to newcastle!

Jazzy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Probably best. And for anyone else who's going to Newcastle and is staying over - £19 rooms in the travel lodge spring sale. EXCELLENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
